I'm pregnant!
Right now I'm only 10 weeks, but here's the preggo shot since my belly is showing already.
I can hardly believe how much I'm showing! I had a flat tummy in May prior to getting pregnant, and it was almost immediately apparent. At 3 weeks my symptoms started, I tested at 4 1/2 weeks, and I had people saying they had figured it out already (mainly my inlaws who live next door). I've been sleeping about anywhere I lay down (floor, couch, chair, kids bed...) and I'm having a hard time getting things finished. My house... ah my poor house... tis neglected. I get the basics done... you know, vacuuming, laundry, cleaning the bathrooms and kitchen... but my fridge, while tidy, hasn't been properly cleaned in over a month (used to do so weekly), I haven't mopped in a while (ugh... and I need to...), and dusting... please don't run your fingers on anything, lol. No, it's not too bad, i dusted some stuff last week. My office almost needs it twice a week though somehow. It's bad in there. The kids thankfully clean up their toys themselves (I would be in a hurricane of toy mess otherwise) and my husband has been helping make meals when I can't handle it. This morning was tough... I got up and was wanting to go right back to bed. I tried to take down my one curtain (got some new ones from my inlaws and I wanted to see how they'd look in the livingroom) but after switching one curtain, I didn't like it, and I couldn't do much but sit down and catch my breath. Seriously. That is crazy. My exercising has gone out the window. I just can't believe how hard things are right now.
As for food... I'm making different things now as I have noticed that the 'same old' is making me nautious. I need to try different things with my ingrediants to be able to eat them. It's been working, and I'm eating a little more nutritiously this last week than I did a few weeks ago (seriously, all we were eating was sandwiches and tomato soup cause I couldn't handle making anything more than that).
I do have one thing... in one week I will be visiting my doctor and hopefully will hear the heartbeat (my uterus is flipped back again, like it has been for all my other pregs, which means it's a bit tougher to hear the heartbeat until later, or even get proper ultrasound). My tummy feels like it's higher than it has been for either pregnancy. My uterus usually stays pretty low. I've tried finding the fundal height for myself, but unfortunately I am having no luck figuring out what is what... so I will rely on my doctor. I have been wondering since we found out we were expecting if it is going to be one or two. Didn't have that question with the others, and the only reason I haven't pushed it from my mind completely is that I found out about a friend who didn't have twins in her family, and had twins herself. I have twins in my dad's side, my husband has twins in his family (I know, that doesn't count for me) but for some reason I have this niggling... that I won't be able to confirm for sure one way or the other until week 20. And not only that, but I have to find another doctor as mine is sadly leaving the 'baby catching business'. He said I could stay with him and just have the doc on call, but if my niggles are correct, that puts me in a higher risk category, and I should have an actual obgyn. I have one in mind... I just need to place some calls.
My goodness... I can't wait until some of these symptoms wear off.
I hope everyone has a great week!
